Fomapan B/w 100asa (120 Format)

[Peter McCullough]

After a looooong spell away from medium format photography I'm about to pick up a virtually new Mamiya C330 Pro S (early April) along with two lenses, 80mm & 135mm etc...

Just ordered a mixed 5 pack of 120 format FOMAPAN b/w film from West End Cameras today, 3x - 100asa - 1x - 200asa - 1x - 400asa to try out.

Anyone here previously shot/used Fomapan medium format film? Love to hear your results/thoughts/views etc....


Thanks;
Peter

I haven't, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with, Peter.

 

[Pete Askew]

No, I don't think I did. It has a reasonable reputation though.

 

[Brian Moore]

I think I have, Peter. I have a look through my pictures and see.

I went and had a look. Here is one. I shot this with a Koni-Omega Rapid that a friend had loaned me. I had gone to a local park to experiment with the camera and the gentleman in the photo approached me. He was an evangelist, and his intent was to convert me to Christianity.

Anyway, this is 120 format Fomapan 100 processed in Rodinal.

I remember that fine image well. I still like it very much.

Hopefully you converted him to medium format film instead?

No need. Brian now has his soul in a ring binder!

Yeah, Pete. He's mine now.

Nah,...he was the evangelist, Paul. Not me.
